*Reminder: When your body isn’t used to feeling safe when still/relaxed, slowing and stopping may trigger some sort of stress reaction (either a fight/flight response or a collapse/shutdown/freeze response). It may be wise to gradually slow down, little by little, and practice feeling still AND safe for very tolerable bits of time at first. This titration or pendulating between movement and stillness (mobility and immobility) is a good way to gradually work with what your nervous system needs to feel safe/secure.

*This applies to any of the practices included below
including the TRE method, breathing, yoga nidra, and yoga.

(up or down-regulate– depending on what you need at any particular time).
